Blogger-candidate slaps himself - twice

29 Feb 2008 | 20 views
On the soapbox at a Bukit Bendera ceramah last night, Jeff Ooi did something he never could have done online. He slapped himself on the cheek. Twice.

Stumping for a spirited crowd, the DAP candidate for the Jelutong parliamentary seat confessed his political transgressions and paid his penance gamely.

"Ten years ago, I was so stupid! I voted Barisan Nasional - so stupid!" the blogger-cum-politician exclaimed, smacking himself on the cheek. "Cukup-lah!"

"2004, we got tired of (ex-premier Dr) Mahathir (Mohamad) and we have new Mr Nice Guy, Mr Clean (Abdullah Ahmad Badawi). I voted for him as well. And what have I got, I got V K Lingam ... Another hit on my face!"
